Did you know that Mother’s day is celebrated at different times of the year around the world? Here in the US, we rejoice and celebrate our Moms in May. In the UK, Ireland and Nigeria, they celebrate it today. In many other parts of the world, we find that Mother’s Day dates run the gamut from January/March in Israel, to February in Norway through December in Panama and Indonesia; every month has a country that celebrates our Moms. .

Women’s History Month: Curriculum Of A Mom – Clara’s card

As baby sitter
And dry-cleaner, she does all
healer, hairdresser … more

She’s pediatrician
She’s cook, musician and housemaid
too… Works all with love

We know that everyday should be a day to honor our Moms and all are days to stop and reflect on the blessings of birth. As kids, many of us didn’t really stop to think about the challenges of parenting. We loved Mom when she was good to us and didn’t when she disciplined us. But in many instances, we went about our days caught up in other thoughts and dreams., Some Moms were abusive of their kids and some cherished every step their children took, all came to the job with minimal training and either copied their own experiences or created new ones. One thing we know, is that most moms had good intentions for their kids and even when they failed, they were trying to do right. Some moms had mental health challenges and their actions were cruel but please know that somewhere deep inside their brains, something wanted to do good. Be the better example and forgive the hard times. Happy Mother’s Day!

Whether you work at home or outside the home, a mother’ job is never done. Even when the kids grow up and fly the coop, they are still “kids” to their moms. So this Women’s History Month, don’t forget to celebrate the women who raised you, nurtured you, loved you and cared about your well-being. It’s been a long road but we will all get there. Be loved and inspired!

Mothers definitely do it all! I admire my mom so much as she stayed at home with us and took care of our every need. She is always there for my sister and I even though we have grown and have children of our own. She is my best friend!

More than celebrating Mother’s Day, I think we should have it in our hearts to express love & show gratitude to our moms every day ( even if they drive us crazy on most times, lol ) .. they’re prolly one of the most selfless human beings. I cannot imagine my life without my Mom. She is my first teacher, my best friend, the best cook, a shoulder to cry on – she’s such a strong person and I really look up to her.

I did not know Mother’s Day was celebrated on different days around the year. I guess it just never came to mind, but of course that does make sense. Hurrah for good moms everywhere, and Happy Mother’s Day to those who are celebrating now. 🙂

I do not want to ever be a mom lol. I appreciate everything my mother has done for me, but not sure I want to sacrifice my entire self for someone else. I’d rather be gardening…LOVE caladiums and I have 7 colors growing right now!!

I guess I never realized that mother’s day was celebrated on different days around the world. That’s pretty cool, I learned something new today. After losing our papa, our mom is all we have and I hope to have her for a good long time to come.

I was wondering why I was seeing Mother’s Day posts here and there on social media, I had no idea it wasn’t on the same day everywhere. Being a mom is no easy job but I can’t wait till the day I can be one too.

It cool that mothers are celebrate in nearly every culture at different times throughout the year. Moms do to so much and are an important part in the lives of their children. I like this quote, ““A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.” Honore de Balzac” it is true 🙂

What a lovely post! I don’t get to celebrate with my mum anymore as she lives in Europe, which celebrates at a different time to us in the UK but always send cards and presents over at the UK time. Now I get to celebrate Mother’s Day with my own munchin who treated me to a rosette this year! 🙂 Sim x

Being a Mom is certainly not easy and it requires great amounts of patience, love, and dedication if you ask me. That’s why I have so much respect for Moms – they’re the whole package and are one of God’s sweetest blessings.

Being a mom is certainly not an easy task. I think it requires limitless amounts of patience & dedication as well as unconditional love. I have so much respect for Moms – they are one of God’s sweetest blessings.

I am a mom of two kids and I admit raising them is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Having no support from their father, I have to financially manage their expenses by working long hours and teach them proper manners at the same time. Moms have super powers I believe.

I knew not everybody celebrated their Mother’s Day in May. But I believe every day we should respect and honor our mothers. My mother is far away from me but nothing brings me so much joy when she comes over to visit. Cannot wait for her to be here with my father in less than a month’s time!

I didn’t know that Mother’s Day is celebrated on different dates in different countries. Here in the Philippines, we celebrate it every second Sunday of May. Glad that this is celebrated all over the world so as to give back to our loving mothers who brought us. We owe everything to them.
